Default Yuck...turbo whine is appreciably louder..not a good sign
I have had the siren sound for several months..and this is different...it is definitely WAY louder...and you can tell something is amiss. My Nogaro beast is going to the dealer tomorrow or Friday potentially for the dreaded "you know what"...14 labor hours later...and 7-10 part delay days later...I should have it back. Anyone want to guess my rental car type...I hope its a decent one...cauz I'm gonna have it for awhile.

Oh well...<p><img src="http://www.seansa4page.com/images/miscpics/steveshsig1.gif" border="0">

Default Any out of pocket expense to you when it's under the warranty?
Are you going to have to pay for any repairs if it's under warranty? I've always wondered about that...still scared my S4 will break down within the first 6 months of ownership.<p>Old School Racer turned German-car enthusiast...
Soon to come: 2001 Santorin 6-spd

Overboost problem? Is it only at high RPM?
